Olympic Medalists Are Getting Something Other Than Flowers This Year

Organizers at the 2018 Winter Olympics are handing out plush versions of the mascot to athletes that medal at the games.

SHOW TRANSCRIPT

Some eagle-eyed Winter Olympics viewers might have noticed a lot of athletes are carrying around plush tigers.

Now, all of these athletes didn't just happen to take the same childhood stuffed animal to South Korea. Instead, organizers of the games are giving gold, silver and bronze medalists the tigers rather than flowers.
